Static assignment
▪ Goal: assign similar objects sent to the same group
▪ Data access pattern -> represent as graph -> graph partitioning
▪ Large-scale optimization: slow, time-consuming
Dynamic assignment
▪ Goal: adapt to maintain load balance by altering group -> component
▪ hardware changes
▪ dynamic workload
▪ addition and removal of objects
▪ Two-level framework separates optimization from adaptation
▪ Slow optimization -> static
▪ Fast adaptation -> dynamic
▪ Group-to-component ratio controls tradeoff

HTTP Request Routing
Social Hash for Facebook’s web routing
▪ Objects: HTTP request identified by user, Components: front-end clusters
▪ PoP: Dynamic assignment by hash ringFront-end clusters

▪ Over half of friendships are within groups
▪ Updated on a weekly basis (~1% movement)

Static assignment
▪ Minimize fanout through bipartite graph partitioning
▪ Graph contains recent queries and data records
▪ edge => query accesses data record
▪ Dotted: edge locality optimization
▪ Solid: fanout optimization●

Storage sharding deployment
▪ Graph database with thousands of storage servers
▪ Group-to-component ratio of 8
▪ Static assignment every few months
▪ Results:
▪ Average latencies decreased by over 50%
▪ CPU utilization decreased by over 50%
Summary
▪ Assignment problems are common in distributed systems design
▪ Proposed Social Hash framework for solving assignment problems
▪ Two-level design optimizes performance with graph partitioning
▪ Two Facebook integrations in production for over a year
▪ HTTP Request Routing: > 25% reduction in TAO miss rate
▪ Storage Sharding: Latency and CPU utilization reduced by over 50%
